Irrigation Management with a Field Water Balance and Virus Incidence in Dahlia Cut Flowers
Irrigation guidelines are needed for the field production of emerging specialty crops to support the sustainability and economic viability of small farms. The goal of this study was to establish crop coefficients (Kc) of dahlia (Dahlia × hybrida), a popular, profitable cut flower...

Beyond the commute: teleworking, mobility patterns and CO2 emissions in Switzerland
Abstract With teleworking on the rise, it is important to address its effects – both direct and indirect – on daily mobility patterns, beyond the usual focus on the commute itself. Using data from a national survey of 5100 employed individuals in Switzerland conducted by a pollin...

Matrix‐Activated Aptamer Sensors for Human Serum Analysis
ABSTRACT Owing to their ease of operation, solution‐phase fluorescent sensors hold a crucial position among aptamer‐based detection tools. However, their performance is regularly compromised when exposed to increasing levels of blood fluids, such as human serum, which limits thei...

Quantifying Ground-Motion Variability from Rupture Uncertainty: How Many Simulations Are Enough?
ABSTRACT Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) increasingly leverages physics-based simulations (PBS) to improve the representation of source, site, and path effects, particularly in regions with limited observational data. Source parameters exert a strong influence on g...

Copper‐Catalyzed Arylation of Cyclic and Bridged Diamines for Drug Discovery
Cyclic diamines are a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry, widely used to modulate physicochemical properties and as linker units in bifunctional molecules such as Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras. Existing approaches for aryl functionalization of these motifs rely on S N Ar...
